SpaceX reportedly in talks for secondary sale at $800B valuation, which would make it America’s most valuable private company

According to the Wall Street Journal, SpaceX is reportedly preparing a secondary share sale that could value the company at approximately $800 billion, doubling its previous $400 billion valuation. This new valuation would make SpaceX the most valuable private company in the United States, surpassing OpenAI, which is currently valued at $500 billion. The scale of the offering has not been disclosed, and SpaceX has not commented on the report. This development highlights a broader trend in private markets where mega-valuations have become increasingly common. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have achieved valuations in the hundreds of billions through private funding rounds and secondary sales, allowing them to access liquidity without going public or facing the pressures of quarterly earnings reports. Founded in 2002, SpaceX leads the commercial rocket launch industry and operates Starlink, its satellite internet service, which had over eight million customers worldwide as of November.
